Cap gil going into 2.0

[Alegis]

She's angry at the exploit and the fact that people are criticizing her for proposing an idea to fix it, not that she has less gil than them. Requesting this thread be closed for the sake of avoiding anymore childish name-calling.

Jesus... there was no exploit.

If the gil were an exploit, the seals and anima would have been an exploit too.
And how many of u were getting a sh*tload of exp in the PL grind parties back then?

Yea okay, why do you think they're patching it??? It's an exploit.

The best alternative:

Remove the gil that was flooded into the markets by those pawning dawn drops (the exploit). This would avoid punishing people who did not exploit it by imposing a cap or anything like that, and get rid the excess gil causing inflation.

now see this type of thing i would agree with.

i just am against any idea that will punish the people not doing it while taking care of the guilty ones. that's why i stated i think at this point they left it in game too long to be able to take care of the printing press gil without also punishing the ones that didn't. i was just against the op because they were acting like everyone over a certain amount meant they were automatically involved. i know of people that were capped months ago which is long before the event was put in.

Why do you think they didnt patch it earlier (like the clusters)?
Why do you think they didnt lowered the NPC sell price of that stuff before adding the event?

What of "The development team has been observing the data for how much gil is being dished out (including the gil being generated when exchanging grand company seals), and it is currently higher than what was expected." dont u understand?

They did EXPECT that ppl would generate Gil that way.
If it had been an exploit, they would be surprised that ppl were able to make any gil that way.

Why did it take so long for Garuda to get patched?

Get back to me on that.

SE If they can remove the gil that was earned through the exploit then by all means do so, but i will not support a solution that punishes everyone for the action of some. Most of us who have been playing since original alpha/beta are well over 100m and we reached that amount long before Atomos was even added. Even now there are a number of ways to make gil faster and legit then Atomos.

[KaplanHomahru]

How about this... if SE thinks the economy should be rolled back because of Atomos/Dawn Drops... they will do it in a way that only affects those players who participated in the event that way.

They shouldn't put an arbitrary limit on people's gil that they may have earned any other way

with the exploit and the MASSIVE gil surge are a result, there should be a cap on gil per account going into 2.0 Yes people are going to get a reduction (9/10s) but there are people that have destroyed server economies with this exploit in their attempts to have the most gil / materials / etc. in 2.0 launch.

With that in mind there should be a limit of say.. 10million per account (100 million currently) that should be allowed to transfer over. This hard cap would bleed out a lot of pointless gil gained from abusers of the Atomos event.

what do you think about the pepeol who already have over your 100 Million, not get because of atomos?...because your jalous and poor ur ready to take everyone money out. Money they made legit.....comon!!!
